  1. Create a Wikispace account and start building this resource for class purposes and for later use after this course is over.
  2. You are required to use wikispaces.com for this project. See the example I created at http://tesolmethodology.wikispaces.com/ Customize your website to allow your class members in your group, including your instructor, to access it. Once you create your wikispace, invite me and your group members to it.
  3. Submit a link of your project’s web location and information for me and your peers to access two weeks before the due date of your first lesson plan.
  4. Design two lesson plans using the Lesson Plan Format. Make sure you follow the lesson plan format provided CLOSELY. Lesson plans must be uploaded to your Wikispace and submitted electronically via Blackboard Assignment Tools on due dates as scheduled.
  5. Have one of your peers in your network critique your lesson plans on due date as scheduled below via your Wikispace.
  6. Attach your peer’s critique to your final submission with their name. Both the quality of the critiques and the quality of your project will be assessed.
  7. Teach your lessons and videotape them. Upload your videotaped lessons to your Wikispace webpage for your peers in your group to view and critique using SIOP Rubric (Course Documents). This is where I will view the videotaped lessons that you taught.
  8. Upload your self-evaluation. You should reflect on your teaching experience and should address the questions given in the Lesson Format. This one-page self-evaluation is due two days after you teach each lesson.
  9. Your lessons must incorporate one web 2.0 social media program such as those listed at: http://www.go2web20.net/ or as listed on course handout.
  10. Your lessons must incorporate a multi-media Powerpoint component
  11. Your lessons must be published online for your peers to view and critique.
  12. Your lessons must be complete and have all components, resources, ready for use with the described target student population.
